In his 23 years in banking, Igor Kim has bought on average close to two banks a year. He has acquired them in just about every region of Russia, from Moscow to the extreme east. He has bought home-grown Russian banks and those left behind by western lenders dumping non-core holdings after the financial crisis. He has bought retail banks, corporate banks and specialist banks.
Last year, he moved into central Europe, buying a small bank in the Czech Republic – and he is looking to expand his horizons still further into the Balkans and even western Europe.
